				 endor54476yYou were trying to cram an emoji in a terminal. Like Jurassic Park, you should have first asked yourself whether you should. endor54476yYou were trying to cram an emoji in a terminal. Like Jurassic Park, you should have first asked yourself whether you should.

				@endor No, that's absolutely wrong.
 
 Unlike the scientists in Jurassic Park, I knew this was evil from the beginning and decided to proceed anyways.

				@SortOfTested Getting it working in Windows atm. Works with the Terminal Preview since it supports emoji. But there's this odd bug where the previous screen buffer doesn't disappear, so I'm figuring THAT one out...

				@SortOfTested Emoji's will now appear where they do not belong!

Working on Unicode support for Linux Terminal apps, and I output an Emoji smiley face. The emulator I'm running (Termius SSH client) rendered it fine, but once the application exited, half the smiley face was left there as graphical garbage for some reason XD
Resetting my terminal did nothing, scrolling up and down did nothing... it was burned into my terminal for the rest of the session.
This is what I get for performing the unholy act of adding Unicode to terminals.
